The Unpopular Opinion Book Tag

14 Comments

I was tagged to do the Unpopular Opinion Book Tag by the lovely Dee from “Oxford Writer’s Lounge”.

Thank you so much Dee! And sorry that I only managed to get to it now…


Rules:

  • Thank the blogger who tagged you, linking back to their site
  • Answer the eight points
  • Tag other bloggers to do the tag


My Answers:

  • A popular book or series that you didn’t like

stephanie-perkins-covers-new

Anna and the French Kiss. Not that I didn’t like it, I just certainly didn’t love it as much as I was expecting to and definitely thought it was overhyped… Sorryandpleasedon’tmurderme!!

  • A popular book that everyone hates but you love

9781908435590maze-runner-correr-ou-morrerthe-scorch-trials91hh1nrsfnl

Maze Runner. This series got some hate on Booktube but I think most people agreed that this is something you either hate or love, there’s little in between here… And I loved it! Especially The Kill Order, I mean “OMGOMGOMG”!

  • A love triangle where your ship did not sail

delete

The Casquette Girls. A part of me really wanted Nicco and Adele to end up toguether… but who knows? There’s still a second book that should come out sometime this year!

  • A popular genre that you hardly reach for

percy

Percy Jackson. Middle Grade stuff, the only exception being Harry Potter and Percy Jackson because yes.

  • A beloved character you didn’t like

I don’t have one! #sorrynotsorry hahaha

  • A popular author you can’t get into

Stephenie Perkins… I mildly enjoyed Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door but they were nothing close to what I was expecting! I guess there was too much hype going around and I got kind of carried away…

  • A popular book series you have no interest in reading

I know some people felt “nhe” towards this series and other loved it but honestly I don’t see myself reading Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen anytime soon. I just thing it will be a lot like other series I already read and I’m a bit bored of…

  • An adaptation you like better than the book

The Great Gatsby. This is literally the only movie I enjoyed way more than the book, literally!
